Specialised artwork scanning

The image capture process begins in our  reduced-glare environment.  Using specially designed lighting, top-of-the-line cameras and scanners, we capture a high-resolution digital image of your work.

Precision colour matching

We use specialised colour matching software for accuracy and efficiency. Since each artwork and medium (oils, acrylics, watercolors, etc.) has a unique range of colours and pigments, We profile the specific colors in each artwork, instead of relying on pre-made color charts.

Superior results

The result is a faithful, print-ready file with the best possible match to your original.  To ensure quality, a proof print on paper or canvas is included in our image scanning and capture package. We are happy to do further custom edits in case you need to improve upon the original.
